I used one of the above answers to install the emulator itself. Mine was incorrect so I changed it to the current one with the command:Īfterwards I restarted VScode and when it was finished loading I could now press the 'device' button in the right hand corner and then select emulator that I had already created. Choose the required parameters of the AVD and click ok to create. You can then see the $PATH that is currently set with flutter under: Click on the AVD manager executable to bring the AVD setup dialog box. Run 'flutter help' to see global options.Īnalytics reporting is currently enabled. The Flutter tool anonymously reports feature usage statistics and basic crash reports to help To remove a setting, configure it to an empty string. If you run 'flutter config' in the terminal you get something like: The AVD Manager provides a graphical user interface in which you can create and manage Android Virtual Devices (AVDs), which are required by the Android. If you're using Android Studio, then you don't need to use this tool.

An AVD lets you define the characteristics of an Android handset, Wear OS watch, or Android TV device that you want to simulate in the Android Emulator. Instead of setting the $PATH directly you can actually use Flutter in the terminal to do it. The avdmanager is a command-line tool that lets you create and manage Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) from the command line.

I needed to setup Android Emulator for VScode, because I wanted to run my flutter app, which seems to be the same issue as OP had.

I know this is an old question but setting my $PATH variable in ~/.bashrc (I'm on Ubuntu 20.04) did not work for me.
